October 17, 2013: If a Christian “becomes a disciple of the ideology, he has lost the faith.”This was the theme of Pope Francis’ homily during his Thursday morning Mass at the Domus Sanctae Marthae. During his homily, the Pope warned Christians against behaving as though the “key is in [their] pocket, and the door closed.” He reiterated that without prayer, one abandons the faith and descends into ideology and moralism. “Woe to you, scholars of the law! You have taken away the key of knowledge!” (Luke 11: 52)

I think I like him, all things considered. I'm not holding out hope for some kind of sweeping change, but I like that he keeps talking about the positives that could come of a better attitude toward others.
